Again, since states play an important role in who signs up for SNAP benefits, Vilsack explained, that’s a question better directed at “state legislatures and governors” whose job it is to “look at the best interests of their folks.”

Another subcommittee Republican, Tom Latham, an Iowan like Vilsack, grilled the secretary for almost every government shortcoming since the fall of the Hapsburgs. “Farmers no longer think USDA is on their side,” Latham announced before ticking off a list of peeves — child labor laws, environmental rules, “meatless Mondays” — straight from rant radio.

Vilsack strongly objected to Latham’s charges and noted that he had “worked to get pulled” the meatless Monday idea, proposed Department of Labor rules on childhood farm labor, and an Environmental Protection Agency “dust” rule that affected farmers and ranchers.

With the hot air in his balloons gone, Latham retreated to the safety of his own mind. “I know what I know,” he told the secretary.

Which, it seems, is not to be altered by facts, reality or reason.

Little wonder why Congress got the farm bill math wrong: it knows what it knows and everyone else can just shut up.

Try using that logic next time the boss asks why the cows aren’t fed and the corn isn’t planted.

Commentary: Modern production agriculture — modern enough?

In order for Minnesota to become organized as a territory of the United States in 1849 there was necessity of meeting a population threshold of 5,000. The 1850 Census showed Minnesota with 6,099, the United States with 23.2 million and the world population stood at 1.26 billion.

Today, Minnesota is home to about 5.4 million, the United States to 316 million and the world is at 7.22 billion and counting. Minnesota is the 12th largest state with a surface area of 86,938 square miles which amounts to 55.6 million acres. Approximately 50 percent or 28 million of those acres are considered natural or conserving use lands.

In 2013, Minnesota farmers planted

and subsequently harvested for grain about 16 million acres of corn, soybeans and spring wheat while the total respective U.S. number is approximately 175 million acres. Other miscellaneous crops grown in Minnesota to include various hay lands amounts to approximately 3.2 million acres (according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service in 2014).

There are those today who proclaim modern production agriculture leaves much too large a footprint on the environment and should thus return to less-intense and more-sustainable production practices, such as those of the late-’50s and early ’60s.

If we proceed to calculate a comparison

to say 1960 agricultural production practices, we find that farmers would have needed to plant 38 million acres of corn, soybeans and spring wheat in Minnesota and 414 million acres nationwide to harvest equivalent 2013 production.

Where would those additional 22 million acres needed for planting have to come from in Minnesota or for that matter the much larger 239 million acres needed nationwide?

Turning to a Stanford University study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, “Greenhouse gas mitigation by agricultural intensification,” and as reported in the journal

Nature by Jeff Tollefson, “to many people, modern agriculture, with its industrialscale farms and reliance on petroleumbased fertilizers, may seem a necessary evil — one that has fed a growing human population while causing untold damage to the environment. But the alternative may be worse, concludes the Stanford University study: a less-productive agricultural system would destroy even more wild land, drive up greenhouse-gas emissions and wreak havoc on biodiversity. The study’s results suggest that further agricultural intensification will play a critical part in addressing global warming.”

These thoughts were submitted by Dave Craigmile of Boyd, Minn.

Open letter to Minnesota farmers: I am writing this letter on behalf of the Minnesota Independent Crop Consultants Association.

The past few years in agriculture, there has been profitability made in crop production agriculture and it looks like the next few years we will be heading into some uncertain times with production agriculture profitability.

The margins will become smaller as producers will look at all aspects of their farm operation on ways to streamline their production costs. The importance of an independent voice in a farm operation

is essential in deciding what factors and inputs are of best value to the producer.

The higher cost of land values and rental rates will have a slower rate of decline than what the commodity values have done in the last 12 months. This has caused many “cash flows” to break even or many farm operations to be losing money in the next few years if the downtrend in commodity prices continues.

The higher commodity values of the past few years has caused some over expenditures related to inputs of our crops because we are always chasing the last few more bushels per acre that prod-

uct A or B can maybe achieve for us.

The independent crop consultant uses unbiased sound research to help define what products are of value to the grower or which products are the “fluff” that can be taken out of the “input” category in the cash flow of the crop production operation.

The importance of being independent is that the crop consultant does not “sell” any products or have any interest in any industry product that comes to market. The independent crop consultant uses unbiased statistical analysis in making good sound agronomic decisions for the producer and is

“only” working for the producer.

In order to define what is good for your operation is to have someone who can give excellent agronomic advice without making a profit on a product that is being sold to the producer. Feel free to look us up at www.MNICCA.org and there will be one close to you. There are many of us who are a part of the National Independent Crop Consultants Association that is also on our website.

Curt Burns Minnesota Independent Crop Consultants Association president Stewart, Minn.

Schell’s brews up a beautiful mixture

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent August Schell was probably not thinking of parks and gardens when he built his New Ulm, Minn., brewery in 1860.

Tucked into hills along the Cottonwood River, caves were dug into the hills for refrigeration, and ice from the river could be harvested and stored in sawdust to cool their cellar areas in the summer.

But eventually the gardens came, and today they are a beautiful respite that the public is invited to enjoy.

August Schell came from Durbach, Germany, to Cincinnati, and then moved on to the young community of New Ulm. He worked for a while as a miller.

“He decided in a German commu-

nity beer was definitely in demand and ended up building this brewery,” said Jodi Marti, special projects coordinator for Schell’s Brewery, which has been a privately owned family business for 154 years.

Ted Marti, Jodi’s husband, is the fifth generation of the August Schell family to serve as president of the company.

Their son, Franz, started overseeing the gardens last year when their longtime gardener moved from the area.

Two other sons are also involved in the business.

August Schell’s family home was one end of the brewery building, which now serves as the main office. In 1885 he built a retirement mansion.

Between the house and brewery he planted a vineyard, importing grape vines from the Rhine area of Germany.

That vineyard has become today’s gardens. While a few grape arbors remain, the gardens are primarily ornamental.

“We redid the garden in 1993 (when Ted became president),” Jodi said. “We made it more of a formal garden with flowers.”

They grow their own plants in a greenhouse that is attached to the mansion (which is no longer occupied and is not open to the public).

“We order in a lot of plugs and seeds,” she said. In 2013 “we added over 60 different varieties of annuals, and planted over 16,000 plants.”

The gardens are actually on two levels. The upper level is filled with flower beds. The lower level has a themed flower bed as well as a walking bridge over a pond. Also meandering around the grounds are two peacocks that are so acclimated to people they almost

pose for photographs. They are one of the biggest challenges to the garden.

“We love the peacocks, but when you put the plants in they pretty much follow behind you and eat them as you go, or the next morning one is nesting in a bed you just put in,” Jodi said. “They are definitely a challenge, but well worth putting up with because they are a unique part of the gardens.”

Another challenge is wild deer that populate the wooded hills along the river. Last year the deer found an area of hostas that they feasted on. Deer have always been associated with Schell’s Brewery. There are a few deer in a fenced deer park behind the mansion. August Schell at one time had 26 deer.

Jodi explained that the deer was on the crest of Carl Schell, August’s father, who was a forester in Germany See SCHELLS, pg. 9

The brewery with its gardens is an idyllic spot you are welcome to visit during the day, but remember that it is a working brewery, as she said. There will be truck and other traffic, and when the small parking lot is full, you will need to park along the road.

James puts the fun in gardening

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Jeffrey “Jesse” James is a creative free spirit for whom gardening is recreation.

“I never say I’m going to work in the garden,” James said. “I’m going to play in the garden. It’s what I do for fun.”

James’ approach to gardening is one that could encourage non-gardeners to give it a try — have fun, do what you like and not what someone else says should be done, let your imagination flow, and when something doesn’t work just try something else.

All of that is easier if you don’t see gardening as a competitive sport. James doesn’t compete with other gardeners to have the most beautiful or unique garden.

“I don’t do any of my designing to please other

people,” he said. “I do it to please myself, but if other people enjoy it, that’s a bonus.”

Deer and rabbits are the only competition he has at his place on Bloody Lake southwest of Tracy, Minn., where he taught high school English until he retired about eight Jeffrey James years ago.

“I think part of my reason for gardening is when you’re a teacher, you don’t get to see the results of your work right away, and with gardening you do,” he said.

Just because he is “playing” doesn’t mean he doesn’t put work into it. The playfulness comes in the gardens he creates, and in his whole attitude toward the garden. That attitude comes through in comments like “When something dies, it’s the opportu-

The fountain was intended as a large basin sitting on a pedestal, but he bought it at a bargain price because the base was tipsy. He removed the base, placed the basin on the ground, and inverted the base inside to create his own unique fountain.

Even his potting bench is out of his imagination.

He wanted something “garish,” he said. He built a structure around an old sink, painted it brightly, and installed old colored-glass church windows.

While James works at creating his gardens, he does it in a playful way that makes it fun for him, using items he has scavenged at auctions, letting plants grow where they are happy, viewing any “failure” as an opportunity to try a different plant.

He even refuses to get upset by the native competitors who disrupt his garden.

“When rabbits find a way into the Secret Garden, I walk slowly toward them,” he said. “If I don’t panic them, they’ll show me where they get in, and I can close it. It’s a constant game.”

Part of the fun for James is that “a garden is never finished.” He will always be trying new plants and changing the décor. One thing that will not change is the size of his garden.

“I’ve made some rules for myself,” James said. “No more new beds, no more new areas. I want it to be fun, not a burden.” ❖

Research bringing out best of berries

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Research being conducted by University of Minnesota scientists at the U of M at Morris could revolutionize the Minnesota strawberry industry.

June-bearing strawberries dominate commercial strawberry production in Minnesota. June-bearing strawberries flower and fruit in response to the lengthening of the days around the summer equinox.

Everbearing, or day length neutral, strawberries have been around for many years. But, in the past, their low quality and small size has not made them commercially viable.

University of California fruit breed-

ers have spent decades working to improve day-neutral varieties. Recent California releases such as Portola and Albion, and English releases such as Evie-2, are making commercial day-neutral production possible.

University of Minnesota researchers at Morris decided to create a project that combined the improved day-neutral varieties with the growing interest of season extension for fruits and vegetables.

In the spring of 2013, following a 2012 pilot project, six varieties of the new day-neutral strawberry varieties were planted on black plastic and under an irrigated system of plastic low tunnels. Comparison plots were

Strawberries are grown in row tunnels made of 12-foot wide 4 or 6 mil plastic supported by flexible steel hoops or rods. The sides can be raised or lowered for harvest and frost protection.

also planted on black plastic mulch without the covering of clear plastic over the plants.

These trials were replicated at the U of M’s St. Paul campus. The St. Paul trials also included a planting of strawberries with straw mulch.

The 2013 Morris trials had yields of the day-neutral varieties in both the row tunnels and bare black plastic that substantially exceed normal yields of June-bearing varieties.

Berry sweetness equaled that of June-bearing varieties and average berry size exceeded that of June-bear-

ing varieties.

The Portola variety was the top producer in Morris with a whopping 38,292 pounds per acre. Yields were lower in St. Paul but still exceeded those of more traditionally grown June-bearing plants. Evie-2, at 18,245 pounds per acre was the top producer under tunnels in St. Paul.

“We are creating an e-learning strawberry book called ‘Cold Climate Strawberry Farming’,” he said. “This book is intended to create more strawberry growers in Minnesota.”

Poppe expects “Cold Climate Strawberry Farming” to be ready in July. Meanwhile, Jordan’s blog has detailed instructions, with photos, on how to establish the low tunnel system. The blog can be found at http://fruit.cfans.umn.edu/category/ strawberries/low-tunnel-strawberry.

Poppe can be reached at (320) 5891711 or poppesr@morris.umn.edu.

Some varieties of the day-neutral strawberry used in the project can be obtained from Norcal Nursery, Nourse Farms or Burpees. Most of the varieties are not hardy for Minnesota and probably have to be replanted every year. ❖

STRAWBERRY, from pg. 12 Evie-2 actually did better on black plastic without the tunnel. St. Paul yields of Evie-2 without the tunnel were 20,961 pounds per acre.

Yields for June-bearing varieties average between 5,000 to 6,000 pounds per acre, according to Esther Jordan. Jordan is a U of M communications specialist who wrote a computer blog for the research project.

Harvest of the day-neutral berries started the third week of July and did not wrap up until late-October. That means that the season ran three months later than the June-bearing season. It was also about two months longer.

Steven Poppe, a horticulture scientist who led the project, is excited about the high yields, high quality and extended season.

Protection from elements, birds an ongoing battle BLUEBERRY, from pg. 15 provides nitrogen.

“Generally one application of an acid-producing fertilizer each year will be sufficient,” the U of M

writes. “Do not fertilize after the blooming period; late fertilizing will encourage late growth in the fall which, in turn, can cause winter injury.”

Blueberries have clusters of small bell-shaped waxy flowers around the time raspberries are flowering.

They need pollination and bumblebees are good at the job. Branch encourages bumblebee-nesting habitat and has even imported bumblebees to his farm so as to encourage pollination. Honeybees are not particularly good at blueberry pollination.

Flower buds for the following year’s flowers and fruit form on this season’s new growth. Although the U of M selected varieties for a high degree of hardiness that new growth is susceptible to die-back from extreme cold or from rabbits or deer. Covering younger plants with straw and snow can protect from both risks.

Branch, whose plants can exceed three feet tall, uses snow fence to catch snow for the younger plants in his berry patch.

“I don’t worry about the older plants,” he said.

“They can catch snow themselves.”

Summer protection of blueberries can be more

important than winter protection.

After soil amendments, irrigation, fertilizing, winter protection and finally pollination, the birds come.

Robins and cedar waxwings can wreak havoc on a blueberry crop even as large as Branch’s and some type of netting is essential. Branch has constructed a canopy of netting to cover his entire patch. Workers and harvesters can walk within his completely netted enclosure. He takes the netting off after harvest is completed.

“I usually put the nets on around the Fourth of July,” he said.

Raccoons can also eat a lot of fruit.

“I keep them out with an electric fence,” he said.

Blueberries in Minnesota are generally insect pestfree but Branch is concerned about an invasive fruit fly that has recently been damaging his raspberries.

He is concerned that they will also attack the blueberries.

Yields were low in 2013 but in good years varieties like North Blue, St. Cloud, Polaris and Chippewa can yield eight to 10 pounds per plant of delicious blue fruit. ❖

corn is planted, according to the Gladiolus Council.

“Corms planted in cold soils are apt to rot before they begin to grow,” the Council says.

The 2013 growing season was challenging for many types of crops, including gladiolus.

Blooming glads in the latter half of July are normal in central Minnesota. The Scriptures didn’t see many blooms until into August.

“The flowers were more than two weeks behind in 2013,” Burt said.

The 2013 growing season was too late, too cold, too wet and then too dry. Too wet can be a problem if your soil isn’t welldrained. Too dry is a problem if you don’t have water available.

Mulching prevents water loss and creates a healthy soil. Nevertheless, glads should have about an inch of water per week from rain or irrigation.

After plants are done flowering, cut back the flower stalks

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

NEED SEED?

The North American Gladiolus Council suggests planting corms in soil that is well drained and has a pH from 6.7 to 7.0.

“Most garden soil that will produce a good crop of vegetables or weeds will also grow good glads with little or no added fertilizer,” the Gladiolus Council says.

The Gladiolus Council suggests hilling the soil around the stalks of the plants as they grow.

“Hilling helps prevent them from falling over during windy or stormy weather,” said Burt, who was the president of the Minnesota Gladiolus Society for 14 years.

Gardeners can also tie the tall plants to garden stakes but they must avoid damaging the corms when they push the stakes into the soil.

If you want flowers for as long a period as possible make a number of succession plantings. You can also extend the blooming period in the garden by planting early, mid- and late-season varieties.

The first planting should be made about the same time that sweet

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Growing beautiful gladiolus in Minnesota year in and year out requires care and patience.

Burt and Carla Scripture raise 1,200 varieties of the showy flower on four acres on the edge of Motley, Minn. In farmers markets, Carla is known as the “Gladiolus Lady” to many customers who seek glads from their farm.

“We sell gladiolus in the Nisswa, Brainerd and Baxter farmers markets,” she said. “For market we cut spikes with two blooms.

That way every bud clear to the top will open in three or four days.”

That approach to cut flowers is good for market gardeners as well as home gardeners. In fact, most everything the Scriptures do to manage their gladiolus can be transferred to the home garden.

“We plant deeply, about six to eight inches,” Burt said.

The Scriptures use a potato Jan King planter to do this. Home gardenBurt and Carla Scripture nurture 1,200 varieties of gladiers can simply use hand tools to olus on their Motley, Minn., acreage, earning Carla the get their bulbs in deep. moniker “Gladiolus Lady.”

Couple ships fresh-cut gladiolus to customers GLADIOLUS, from pg. 17 but leave the spiky foliage intact. The new corms are still forming. Six to eight weeks after flowering, or before the ground freezes, loosen the plant from the soil with a spading fork. Once the plant is loose, pull it out by hand.

“The plant should be separated from the corm as close to the corm as possible, either by hand breaking or cutting with pruning shears,” the Gladiolus Council says. “The corms should be cleaned or rinsed off with running water and then spread out to dry in shallow layers in trays or porous bags in an airy location that will not freeze, for a period of from two to three weeks.”

“We dry them in a greenhouse,” Burt said. “Then we throw away the old mother corm and keep the bulblets or new corms. Our corms are stored in an insulated and heated room on the rear of our steel building. The room has both electric and propane heat as well as a humidifier. Before we did store them in the crawl space under the house. Many people store in basement root cellars.”

The Scriptures keep the corms at about 40 degrees over the winter.

Burt and Carla are involved with the Minnesota Gladiolus Society. They show glads at the state show at the Brown County Fair in August and they also show at the Minnesota State Fair. In 2013 the Minnesota society hosted the national show which was held at Mystic Lake Casino near Prior Lake. An annual picnic is also held in conjunction with the Wisconsin Gladiolus Society.

“Minnesota has the most and largest gladiolus shows in the United States and most of the world,” Burt said.

All the shows and get-togethers allow members to learn from each other. The Minnesota society also

works together to obtain particularly beautiful and exotic flowers.

“Three or four members can put their orders together and get corms from Russia or other countries,” Burt said. “It helps save on customs fees.”

For example, that is how members obtained a gladiolus called the Rose Dragon, he said.

“We have in the past provided a mentor program where we supplied a novice grower with a sample of corms and a mentor network to answer questions and give encouragement,” Burt said. “A home gardener who loves gardening should absolutely belong to the Minnesota Gladiolus Society where the friendship and competition will help nurture the love of beautiful flowers, especially gladiolus.”

In addition to selling gladiolus at farmers markets, the Scriptures will ship them directly to you.

“We ship fresh-cut gladiolus during the summer cut season,” Burt said. “For example, we ship weekly to our daughter in Des Moines via Speedy Delivery and she then sells at a local farmers market. Gladiolus are made to be cut and lend themselves to shipment.”

You can contact Burt and Carla Scripture by e-mail at burtsbees@brainerd.net or by phone at (218) 352-9202. You can join the Minnesota Gladiolus Society by sending $10 to Membership Secretary Mary Robinson, 9023 70th. St. SW, Howard Lake, MN 55349.

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Hog market takes Building a brand over excitement to set you apart What is your brand? No I’m not talking about your preferred brand of corn and soybeans or your preferred brand of equipment, but rather something we don’t hear about often — your farm’s unique brand.

The dictionary defines a brand as a variety of something distinguished by distinctive set of characteristics.

Each of us experiences brands and has brand preferences, whether you prefer Coca Cola to Pepsi or choose to visit Target over Walmart.

A good brand is built by exhibiting consistent performance over time and by promoting their areas of strength.

DAREL NESS Grain producers each have AgStar Assistant VP Financial Services their own brand, no two are idenRochester, Minn. tical. Producers tend to spend a lot of time during the months prior to planting working on tasks like equipment preparation, seed selection, arranging financing and negotiating rent contracts.

In a competitive, tight-margin environment like we are currently experiencing, I believe it’s also important for producers to identify their unique brand characteristics and ultimately, promote themselves. What are you doing as a producer that is perceived as a value to other people or businesses you work with? Many producers have a large number of relationships to manage including employees, landlords, bankers, insurance agents and agronomists.

Take a minute to think about the accomplishments or unique identifiers that come to mind for your operation. Do superior production abilities,

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

To say the livestock markets have been on fire lately would be an understatement. Actually the hogs have taken over for the cattle as far as excitement, and left the cattle market behind.

The hog market has been propelled by the decline in numbers due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus that has swept through the country. This has forced the packers to scramble after live inventory and thus paid higher prices in order to acquire that immediate supply.

Both the cash and futures markets have shot straight up over the last several weeks to levels never before seen. The pork JOE TEALE Broker cutout has followed suit as retailers are forced to compete for pork Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. product and the cutout has increased on a fairly sharp incline during this period.

It is still unknown what the overall effect this will have on the hog market or how long this will continue. The fact is that the hog market is in the process to find the point where demand slows enough to halt this current price bulge. There has been a large amount of speculation driving the futures market way ahead of the surging cash market and the basis has been extremely wide.

As you know the cash and futures come together at the contract expiration of each contract. This has set up an opportunity for producers to take advantage of this wide basis and protect inventories if it works into their marketing plans.

On a side note, the fact that the hog market will top

Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 21.

CORN — The corn market set back this week, although the losses were fairly contained.

The nearby May contract was down by 7 cents, and the December contract was down by 7.25 cents.

The Russian takeover of Crimea from Ukraine did not result in escalated unrest in the TIM EMSLIE wake of the previous weekend’s CHS Hedging Inc. secession referendum.

The St. Paul response from the European Union and the United States was narrowly focused during the week, targeting specific officials and assets as opposed to broad-based trade or financial sanctions.

This relative calm made for a fairly quiet week for the corn market.

Weekly ethanol production took a solid jump higher to 891,000 barrels per day, a 22,000 increase. Ethanol stocks were lower to 15.3 million barrels, the lowest level in 2014. Ethanol supplies are tight in New York where the price hit $4 gallon. That’s the highest price since the summer of 2006. Part of the issue is logistical; the lack of availability of railroad cars and capacity has reduced supply from the Midwest.

Weekly export sales were strong at 746,000 metric tons. It was interesting to note that China showed as a net buyer for 69,000 mt even as the genetically

Bean market focuses on Chinese import situation EMSLIE, from pg. 19 modified organism situation remains unresolved. The biosafety committee in China is scheduled to meet this month and may or may not address the situation. The next scheduled meeting following the March meeting is in June.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture daily reporting system on Friday showed a 345,000 mt sale to Egypt.

The upcoming week will bring increased focus on the March 31 stocks and acreage reports. However, the March 28 Hogs and Pigs report before that will be watched closely as an important indicator of future corn demand.

Hog prices have rallied to record highs due to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus losses. To date, pork production has been higher year over year thanks to higher weights more than offsetting a drop in numbers.

The key will be the spring-summer slaughter numbers that are dependent on winter farrowings that were hit hard by the virus. The December Hogs and Pigs report showed farrowing intentions through May were higher (101 percent), but Purdue University suggests some are expecting slaughter supplies for the summer could be down 7 to 10 percent.

Because the slaughter number issue will have its biggest effect in the spring and summer, PEDv should have had a limited effect on December to February corn feeding.

The Cattle on Feed report on March 21 showed the number on feed was 99.5 percent of the previous year’s total, a bit more than the 99 percent expected.

OUTLOOK: May corn held support near the $4.75 mark this week, while resistance remains near the early March high just above $5.

We expect to see some modest support from the surging ethanol market as well as the continued solid export sales pace in the upcoming week, although that range should hold ahead of the stocks and acreage report.

We expect March 1 corn stocks at 7,059 million bushels compared to 5,400 million bushels last year. This year’s acreage is estimated at 90.5 million acres. The USDA Outlook Forum estimated acreage at 92.0 million acres.

SOYBEANS — The May soybean contract had a volatile week, rallying mid-week to within 3.5 cents of the contract high before plunging on Friday. For the week, May was up 20.25 cents. The November contract saw less instability, but gained only 2.75 cents on the week.

The focus was the situation in China where imported supplies have exceeded current demand, resulting in weak domestic crush margins.

One Chinese importer in particular told newswire services that it was diverting cargoes purchased from Brazil to the United States in an effort to mitigate losses. Meanwhile, U.S. export statistics continued to reflect stronger than needed shipments and sales. Weekly inspections were 34.53 million bushels (940,000 mt) and weekly sales were 202,000 mt.

National Oilseed Processors Association crush for February was reported

TEALE, from pg. 19 at some point, it’s not a question of if, but when. The when will be determined when supply exceeds demand.

The cattle market continues to remain firm at least on the cash side.

The futures market is beginning to struggle once again as it has in the past at the recent highs. Cattle numbers are still relatively tight and packers seem secure in competing for live inventory despite what the futures market is doing.

Beef cutouts have moved back above the $240 per hundredweight level basis choice once again which helps keep the packer margins in the black or at least close to break-even. The problem with these higher cutout values is the resistance by the retailer to

acquire large quantities of product.

This continues to indicate consumer resistance to these higher beef prices.

It is apparent as the cutout goes up the boxed beef movement slows down.

On March 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are as follows: On feed March 1, 99 percent; placed during February, 115 percent; marketed during February, 97 percent.

The report is seen as a little negative since the placements were higher than anticipated. This would have the most effect on the summer market.

Like the hog market, the cattle market is in the process of finding that point where supply exceeds demand.

Therefore producers are urged to stay tuned to market conditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

COF report a ‘little negative’

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

this week, and was a bit above expectations at 141.6 million bushels.

The crush pace will have to drop off to multi-year lows from April forward due to the tight supplies.

Brazilian soybean harvest was reported at 59 percent complete, compared to 54 percent at the same point last year.

OUTLOOK: The contrast between the surplus in the Chinese import market and the tightness in the United States as export sales for both beans and meal continue created a high level of uncertainty for futures markets.

On the May chart, the Thursday rally fell short of the March high of $14.60, triggering the sharp sell-off into the end of the week. The November contract did set a new 2014 high during the week at $11.98, defining resistance. The soybean stocks report is evaluated differently than the often

headline-grabbing corn stocks report.

Since most soybean usage is able to be tracked closely through reported export sales and crush, a surprise on the stocks report says something about the accuracy of the production estimate. That doesn’t mean that a surprise in just one quarter means the production number will be adjusted following the marketing year, but with the tight stocks situation this year the market is watching closely for direction on how tight stocks actually are.

We estimate March 1 stocks at 955 million bushels, about 43 million bushels less than last year. We estimate soybean acreage at 82 million acres, which would be significantly higher than the estimate of 79.5 million from the USDA Outlook Forum.

NESS, from pg. 19 your character or values, your skills at maintaining soil fertility or your family’s farm heritage come to mind?

These are things that help define the brand of your operation and it’s fairly safe to say these are traits that your business relationships may find of value also.

Many things you do as a producer have value to the people and businesses you work with, but it’s important that you take the time to promote your accomplishments and unique identifiers so your key partners are aware of your accomplishments. When negotiating contracts or building a relationship, if you only discuss dollars and don’t bring to light any other important details about your business, it shouldn’t be surprising that only dollars will be considered when making a decision. If only dollars are discussed, it would make it easy for a competitor to come in, outbid you and ruin your relationship.

Promoting your business and your key accomplishments is an important part of sharing your brand. A few things you can do are to prepare a resume, create a flyer or a website that highlights what you are proud of, and build a list of references. It’s also important that you play an active role in your community. Get involved in school boards, volunteer for a fundraiser, or sponsor a float in your town’s parade.

No matter what you decide to do, make sure to be creative and make your efforts personal to your operation.

Promoting your brand doesn’t just fall to you as the producer. It’s important that everyone on your team, especially those who deal with people, are promoting your brand as well. For example, your trucks and drivers can have a huge impact on your brand that can be either positive or negative.

Make sure your drivers are aware of your key accomplishments and are trained to act as a mobile billboard for your farming operation.

It’s also important that you don’t forget to start training your successors to manage relationships. Include the next generation as soon as it’s reasonable in meetings with people like landlords, bankers and lawyers to give them the time and exposure needed to develop their own style and skill set.

If you are not comfortable with the idea of promoting your brand or if you need brushing up on your relationship management skills, consider investing the time to take a class to improve this important skill. It may be just as important to the success of your business as any class you take.

put per cow was below the five-year average in January. It is likely that the colder-than-normal winter in the Upper Midwest, combined with the apparent variable forage quality of last year’s hay crop, contributed to lower-than-expected output per cow.

In contrast and despite drought conditions, milk per cow increased in California and underpinned January’s nearly 5-percent year-over-year rise in milk output in that state. A return to more normal forage quality this spring in most of the United States will likely boost milk per cow in the second quarter. The milk production forecast was unchanged from February at 205.7 billion pounds for the year.

■ Commercial milk equivalent exports were raised this month to 12.4 billion pounds on a fats basis based on strong year-to-date movement of cheese to Mexico and South Korea.

In addition, butter exports to North Africa and Middle East countries were stronger than earlier forecast, helping lift export forecasts. Exports on a skim solids basis were unchanged from last month’s forecast at 38.2 billion pounds as increased lactose and cheese sales were offset by slightly lowered forecasts of skim milk powder and whey exports. Imports on both a fats and skims-solids basis were unchanged from February to 3.7 billion and 5.3 billion pounds, respectively.

the previous year. The January numbers were the largest monthly commercial cheese trade on record for the United States, with exports accounting for 7.8 percent of total cheese production for the month.

It should be noted that most of this strength followed business executed at lower prices during fourth quarter 2013 and there is some concern that current prices may discourage future demand. There are signs that U.S. dairy product prices are becoming expensive on the world market with milk production recovering in other exporting countries.

■ Dairy farm margins continued to improve through the first half of March, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity & Ingredient Hedging LLC., due mainly to a mid-month surge in milk prices while feed costs increased as well since the end of February. Nearby second quarter margins have now reached the historic highs of 2004 while deferred margins are likewise historically strong, at or above the 90th percentile of the past 10 years.

Milk continues drawing support from the spot cheese market, with block cheddar prices at the CME reaching new all-time highs last week. January cheese and curd exports of 70.8 million pounds were up 3.3 percent from December and 46 percent higher than

to the USDA’s Dairy Market News. Good demand from domestic buyers is credited with keeping block supplies tight. Buyers are looking to acquire inventory for Easter-Passover demand. Export demand continues to move a larger percentage of cheese out of the country.

Cash butter, after holding close to $1.88 for three weeks, closed Friday at $1.92, up 4 cents on the week, 8 cents away from $2, and 22 cents above a year ago. Two cars sold on the week.

NDPSR butter averaged $1.8396, up 1.7 cents.

The DMN said butter manufacturers are busy fulfilling good export orders, especially in the West, along with increased domestic retail demand for the upcoming Passover and Easter holidays. The market tone is firm as several butter makers are unable to grow inventories due to better-than-seasonal demand. Stocks of butter are light to moderate.

Grade A nonfat dry milk closed at $2.05/lb., up a penny on the week and the first price movement since March 6. NDPSR powder averaged $2.0984, down 0.5 cent, and dry whey averaged 65.06 cents/lb., up 0.2 cent.

■ Speaking of high prices, the 40-pound Cheddar blocks set a new record high this week, closing Friday at $2.4275 per pound, up 6.5 cents on the week and 72.75 cents above a year ago. The 500-pound barrels closed at $2.31/lb., down a penny from the record set Jan. 30, but up 4.75 cents on the week, 64.5 cents above a year ago and an unsustainable 11.75 cents below the blocks.

It was the fifth consecutive week of gains for spot cheese, and amazingly, there hasn’t been a sale of block cheese at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange since Feb. 20 and then it was only two carloads. Eight cars of barrel were traded this week.

I have the next recipe photocopied and stuck to my bulletin board. It’s hokey, but I love this gentle reminder that it takes thought and effort to maintain an attitude of gratitude.

Recipe for a Good Day From the “Women of the Moose Cookbook”, Mankato, Minn., 1979 Mix 2 parts unselfishness and 1 part patience. Add plenty of industry. Lighten with good spirits and sweeten with kindness. Put in smiles as thick as raisins in plum pudding, and bake by the warmth which steams from a loving heart. If this fails to make a good day, the fault is not with the recipe but with the cook.

The next recipe gets style points for its simple title: Pig Tators. Simple idea, too: Bake your potato with a sausage stuffed inside, infusing the potato with flavor while it cooks. Brilliant!

Pig Tators From “Favorite Recipes of the Elysian United Methodist Church”, Elysian Minn. (undated) Scrub potatoes and bore a hole with apple corer almost to the other end. Then stuff hole with one link See COOKBOOK, pg. 27

When you suffer, He’s the only One who knows and the only One worth running to. He’s not a distant God or seasonal — only available at Christmas, Easter and funerals. ... Jesus gets what you’re going through because He’s been there.

Suffering, sorrow and hardship are hard things in and of themselves, harder still when we have no idea how long it will last. When there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, and no promised expiration date or guaranteed timeline to the end of this thing we didn’t ask for or want, we question, “How long?”

When hard stuff happened as little kids, things were often easily mended with favorite blankets, Band-Aids and kisses. As we grew, troubles did too.

Instead of having a scraped-up knee, we have busted limbs. Instead of a broken toy, we have broken homes, relationships and dreams. The things we used to run to ... our mother’s arms or our favorite stuffed animals, fail to deliver comfort and security anymore.

No one is immune to trouble and trials, even those who experience mountains of joy with only a pothole or two of ache. Yet there’s at least a small space within each soul that sings the old spiritual, “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.”

The song continues. “Nobody knows but Jesus.” It’s true.

When you suffer, He’s the only One who knows and the only One worth running to. He’s not a distant God or seasonal — only available at Christmas, Easter and funerals. He’s near and He knows you.

Jesus gets what you’re going through because He’s been there. He was a man of suffering, familiar with pain.

So talk to Jesus. Approach Him with confidence. He may not give you what you want if what you’re asking for is answers, timelines, and quick exits.

But He will provide what you need, be it hope, forgiveness, comfort or endurance. The Bible never promises that life will be easy, but it does promise that we will never walk alone.

Like Greg Laurie wisely said, “We live on promises not explanations.”

Caribbean BBQ Sauce over rice could be a meal sausage. Grease the tator. Wrap in foil and bake until well done, about 1 hour at 350 degrees.

The classic wilted salad has gone out of style, but it really should be brought back to the mainstream table both at home and in restaurants, in my opinion. Hot bacon, bacon grease, sugar and vinegar. ’Nuff said.

Wilted Lettuce Salad From “Spirit of the Prairie”, Our Lady of the Prairie Retreat, Wheatland, Iowa, 2012 1 bunch leaf lettuce, torn 6 to 8 radishes, thinly sliced 4 to 6 green onions with tops, thinly sliced Dressing 4 to 5 bacon strips 1 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Cookbook Corner

Toss lettuce, radishes and onions in a large salad bowl; set aside. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towel to drain. To the hot drippings, add vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and pepper; stir well. Immediately pour dressing over salad; toss gently.

Crumble the bacon on top. Serves 6 to 8.

A batch of this unique barbecue sauce poured over hot white rice was a surprisingly big hit at our house recently. Chock full of bacon and onions, it could be an entree as easily as a side dish. It went fabulously with the ribs I slow-cooked that day. Black rum is the darkest kind of rum, imparting bold, sweet, spicy flavors to your dish. (Don’t use spiced rum, though, that’s a whole different thing.)

Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan!

Caribbean BBQ Sauce From “Fruit of the Spirit”, Church of St. Donatus, Brooten Minn., 2010 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil 12 slices bacon, diced 4 medium onions, finely chopped 4 cups tomato sauce 2 cups black rum 4 lemons, juiced 1 1/3 cup brown sugar 4 dashes chili sauce

Continue to simmer about 8 minutes.

Place oil, bacon and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until bacon is evenly brown and onion is tender. Stir tomato sauce and rum into the skillet and reduce heat. Simmer about 2 minutes. Mix in lemon juice, brown sugar and chili sauce.

Lime Spreading

“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent. for questions or prices please call

Delicious artwork

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

ask, “Is El Portal Restaurant art gallery or a restaurant?”

O nean could

There are countless works of art in this Melrose, Minn., restaurant. For example, in the entryway there is a painting of Don Quixote. A quick look reveals just a nice painting of an old fellow foolishly chasing windmills. But look carefully and you will get lost in the many layers of this fascinating painting.

To eat you must pass through the restaurant’s inside door. Portal is a Spanish word for door. Having passed through the portal you will first notice a smile and friendly greeting from a member of the Hernandez family. They have owned this restaurant for a decade. But, if you look across the dining room, a vibrantly colorful mural will strike you.

“You see,” Jose Hernandez said, “it is like you are entering the portal of a courtyard.

In the distance you see the parish church.”

Jose has been in many such courtyards, as has his wife, Ana Rosa. So had the fellow who painted the mural.

“One day I received a call. The man said he was calling from Iowa. He had a funny name. I don’t remember it,” Jose said.

The fellow was a traveling artist. He asked, did Jose want a mural in his restaurant.

“I said no, not really. He said, may I come to talk to you. OK, I said. It doesn’t matter.”

Apparently, Jose and Ana Rosa did want a mural. They just didn’t know it.

“He talked to my wife for a while and they had an idea,” Jose said.

The Hernandezes left the restaurant at 11 p.m. that night.

“When we came back the next morning he was at a table drinking coffee and there was the mural,” Jose said. “I never even saw his paints.”

Did he make a drawing first?

“No.” “I heard he was in Missouri after that but I don’t know. He doesn’t answer his phone. He said he never returns to the same place.”

El Portal Restaurant, Melrose, Minn.

The mural is about 20 feet long and nine feet high. The mystery artist was indeed fast.

Every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday El Portal serves special buffet meals under the mural. Wednesday is for Mexican specialties, Thursday for tacos and Sunday is brunch. That means they are a restaurant.

But, in addition to the mural there are dozens of other works of art to enjoy while you eat. ❖
